New Parks Boys,
I remember well the tennis courts . We were a secondary modern and our tennis courts were very secondary. Holes and gravel with a perimeter fence that had so many holes in it that about 20% of the balls sailed through it only to be ...Read more

Early Years In Hindley
What - no memories of Hindley? I was born in 1935 (nee Pennington) at a house in Liverpool Road, just up from the Strangeways Pub (The Paddock). The area was called Navvies' Lump, and although the address was "Liverpool ...Read more

Behind is the car park for the cars to come under the hammer, and the fully mechanised tuning, repairing, and testing service of Magna Motors.
Until the 1950s Middle Mill Weir occupied the centre of this view, but the bridge over the weir remains as an important pedestrian link to the sportsfields and parks on the north bank of the River.
It was decided to demolish numerous properties and to rebuild them further back, thus widening the road and providing parking.
Perhaps a sign of the times, an open-topped automobile is parked outside the Old Hall Hotel, opposite the tree-fringed churchyard.
The Woodstock, constructed in the 1930s, continues to flourish today as it clearly did when this photograph was taken with these cars parked in the forecourt, although the frontage of the pub has since
The White Horse stands in the High Street with a car park at the rear. Note the tall, brick-built chimneys. On the grass in front of the hotel is a pump and a trough.
Today, however, it has grown, with an extension to the right of the building; in order to accommodate customers, much of the grass verge in the foreground has been taken over by parking space.
Here we see a quiet scene in the centre of a village that has become overwhelmed by post-war bungalow developments and surrounded by caravan and camping parks.
This is the 'Swan Park'. As 19th-century Swansea outgrew its water supply, the Board of Health remedied the situation by building two reservoirs, one at Brynmill and one at Cwmdonkin.
The park seems to have been popular then, but is less so today. Maybe the constant traffic on neighbouring Evesham Road puts people off.
To the right are the post-war council houses and the filling station in the Globe Hotel car park. The blue sign for the M1 (left) is a new addition to the countryside.
Here engine 12501 steams along the front, past the town's park, where the conical-roofed bandstand is prominent.
Proposals were drawn up for a new pavilion, indoor nets, and a banqueting suite at Queen's Park, but were turned down by Chesterfield Borough Council.
It then continued to Eaton Park and Saltney. In 1906 it was more expensive to sit inside a Chester tram than on the exposed upper deck.
This view of the station was taken before parts of the station were sacrificed to accommodate the present station car park.
As well as the development along the seafront, we can see the awnings on the shops along Station Road, the station, and the terrace known as Athol Park.
Parking was still free.
An open-topped tourer and motor-cycles are parked by the entrance railings.
The illegally-parked and shining Hillman Minx is a forerunner of the age of mass motoring, which will soon overwhelm the city's streets.
Note the absence of road markings and the caravan and bicycle parked along the street. Note also the Dulais Pharmacy, 'Gwyn Jones, Dispensing Chemist', on the right before the chapel.
Bladon is situated outside the southern boundary of Blenheim Park. Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
The population in 1960 was 50,000, yet there are only about 75 cars parked at the station, as most people worked in the town.
On the left is the rear of the Swan Inn; a car park has replaced the buildings ahead.
This unprepossessing village, now the home of a major holiday theme park, straddles the main trunk road that bisects the county. It suffers the full impact of constant traffic.
